A quick and easy refreshing summer dessert featuring a creamy, zesty lemon filling with a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, and hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 (14 oz / 400 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 medium lemons)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • Optional topping: whipped cream
  • Optional topping: thin lemon slices or candied lemon peel

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  3. Bake crust for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Whip chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest until mixture thickens slightly.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the lemon mixture to keep it airy.
  7. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil.
  8. Freeze pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
  9. Before serving, let pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Garnish with extra whipped cream and lemon slices or candied peel.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best thickening and flavor. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Press plastic wrap directly onto filling before covering to avoid ice crystals. Let pie thaw slightly before slicing for clean cuts. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free sweetened condensed milk. For gluten-free crust, use almond flour with butter.
